  4. Frank, I cannot express my deep sorry for your lost. Although, I never met June in person I feel that I know her thru our many conversations about her and my occasional conversation with her over the phone. My dear friend, please accept Alice and I’s sincerest condolences. May God shower you with His undying grace, comfort, and mercy. Be strong, my brother.

  5. My deepest sympathy to Poppa Hopkins and the whole Hopkins family. I had the pleasure of getting to cruise with Laverna and truly enjoyed her company. She was a spunky lady with such fire and passion. I loved listening to her life stories that she shared with us on the cruise and a few other places & times fortune allowed us to be in her company. Her light shone brightly and she will be missed.
    Love and prayers for peace and comfort to the whole family. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
